 Tavant Platform |
|
Jump-start solution development with our robust set of standards-based components, with easy platform integration. |
| |
| One of the key challenges which Tavant has overcome succesfully is to ensure reusability across solutions for different customers. At Tavant, we find and exploit opportunity for reuse to serve you better. |
| |
The Tavant platform is carefully architected as a collection of loosely-coupled components with the ability to mix and match with parts of your platform. For example, you may have your own tools for Business Rules, Object Relational Mapping or Content Management etc., but may not have standard tools for Performance Monitoring, Security, and Configuration Management.
It has the capability to support numerous application needs such as database management, security, performance measurement and enhancement, business rules, optimization, system integration and reporting, to name a few. It leverages best-of-breed commercial, open-source and Tavant-developed products and integrates them together.
We fully understand and appreciate that each customer has different technology preferences and standards and thus our platform offers a broad set of choices. Our deep expertise with many tools and technologies other than those in our standard platform can help provide you with a broader perspective.
Inside the Tavant Platform
- The Platform consists of a set of Core Components and Application Components listed below. Each component is either a licensed product from a third party (both commercial and popular open source products) or developed in-house.
- Each component also includes best practices to ensure effective use of these components in line with the best practices accepted in the industry and derived from years of experience in real projects.
How do we pick components for the Platform?
- We apply a rigorous technical, financial, and vendor support evaluation process (we will be happy to share our evaluation results with you) driven by real project requirements.
- We look at both open-source and commercial software. In both cases, we look for reliability and maturity.
- We are not swayed by hype, and we're happy to make changes as we continue to learn. We pick the best tools based on the needs and usually extend them to fill the gaps. If we find that none of the tools meet our needs, we build our own tools.
We continually enhance the components and best practices based on our experiences in adopting them in new solutions. |
